Hello, Everyone new here. I recently purchased an axolotl that was sold to me as a copper, However, many people have posted axolotls that are very similar that they identify as wilds. What is my little guy a copper or a wild. Please help *Pics attached

If you know the genetics of it you can be more certain. To me it looks like a toss up. I has attributes of a copper but also looks like a real light wild type.

You can figure type by phenotype (how it looks) but if you know the genotype (genetic make up of parents) it is a huge help. I'm more for mixing things up and just going by phenotype. If both parents were copper I would say it is copper for certain. If their was mixed genetics involved in the parents personally I would still guess copper but be less certain.
